this is an experimental fic that I play with when I'm bored.
song-"after I say I'm sorry", by frank Sinatra



Rory kissed Dean goodbye and closed the door. She had just had another nice date with Dean. That's how their dates always were. Not great, not bad, just... nice. All the while she had been thinking about getting home to check her E-mail. She couldn't help but wonder what Tristan thought when he heard the song she had chosen. Would he laugh, would be he offended. Not that I care, she told herself. "I could care less," she said out loud.
"Care about what sweetie?" Lor called out.
"Oh, Dean was just talking about cars again" Rory covered. It wasn't a complete lie.
"Boys and their toys" Rory heard her mother exclaim.
"Yeah." Rory agreed. "I'm gonna go to bed mom, 'night."
"Ok honey, good night."
Rory walked into her room. She got ready for bed, all the while eyeing her computer. Finally, when there was nothing else left to do, she sat down and turned it on and signed on. She held her breath.
"You've got mail."
There was a 'goodnight, I had fun' letter from Dean. A 'save me from this prison' letter from Lane. A few junk e-mails, and finally, she saw his address. Clicking on it, a window popped up, letting her know it was a music file. She clicked ok, and waited. Soon, she heard the soft jazzy tunes of Frank Sinatra fill her room.


What can I say dear,
After I say I'm sorry

What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do

I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you

I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry

Baby I'm so, I'm sorry
Got to prove that I'm so sorry

I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
What can I say dear, what can I do
What can I say, what can I do
After I say I'm sorry

As the song finished, Rory couldn't help but laugh. He always had that effect on her. She sighed and logged off. Turned off the lights and went to sleep, smiling.
